Plank Coffee Cloverdale

Yeah - five stars across the board. I did think about being careless with praise here - I feel justified. I ordered a breve latte and a stand-alone shot of espresso - so I could taste the core product. I watched the barista at work and noted her professionalism in puck preparation. The resulting espresso was creamy and was timed to capture the sweetness without the bitter flat taste of an extended pull. Even though latte art does not contribute to the taste of a latte, it inspires the idea of something delicious, and demonstrates the honed abilities of the barista. The resulting latte impressed me with a caramelization of honey, plum, and a hint of grapefruit in the finish - revealing a blend of arabica and probably at least some Colombian beans.

Weather helped us enjoy the outdoor seating - where a helpful staff member followed us with our drinks on a tray. The atmosphere was kitschy, quiet, and clean.

This little coffee shop was just want I needed! The coffee and food was incredible and on point… the atmosphere and vibe was chill and the staff was friendly. The service was also really fast!

I love this place. Great BLAT (vegan bacon, lettuce, avocado, and tomato) sandwich. Had a yummy muffin for dessert. Had tea and also bought a tin of tea to go. All the servers are friendly and the entire place was immaculate. Ate outside in the rain at the covered picnic tables. Always make it a point to stop here for lunch when I am traveling in the area.

The coffee is made strong served in huge round coffee cups. Many good items to pick from including scones and sandwiches. Seating areas are comfortable. Staff is very friendly.

Everything is amazing here. Easy parking the desserts were amazing. The bagels are made with local bread that is more special. The taste was great. All the employees were with a smile that help to feel like at home. We loved this place

Great, great espresso, breakfast and baked goods! The baristas know what they are about and this is not always a given. Great service and the cakes and goodies are to die for! A must stop by on your way north or south off 101...

I would say they're a fantastic hole-in-the-wall coffeehouse, but word has seemingly gotten out because they're busy all day, every day! They legitimately have the best coffee I've ever experienced (the honey latte just hits different y'all, get it iced and you'll be chillin like a villain). And the atmosphere is wonderfully inviting. Very friendly staff, amazing sandwiches and breakfast items with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options, and their online ordering is very clean and easy if you want to avoid the morning crowds. If you end up falling in love with their coffee like I have, they roast all of their own beans weekly and sell them in-house! Definitely a place I will never forget.

My new favorite little coffee shop in the world. Friendly staff and locals and the best cup of coffee I've had in a while. Thank you Plank Coffee!

Their egg biscuit sandwich was delicious! Super filling and so good. They have a nice garden area to enjoy your coffee and yummy treats.

A great coffee shop in downtown Cloverdale with excellent coffee and both savory and sweet eats.

You'll find many locals going thru or hanging out, authentically providing a warm, welcoming small town vibe

Beautifully decorated coffee shop with delicious baked goods and various lite food options. Most if not all the options are vegetarian or vegan. Friendly service and most important of all great coffee. I tried the brew of the day. Great Peruvian coffee. Added a raspberry scone which was scrumptious. My wife tried the house made chai tee and loved it.

On a morning when I was ready to break my fast after a much needed nearby hike... I stopped into Plank Coffee. Needing to refill my tank with clean, delicious energy, I enjoyed the egg cheese tempe bagel breakfast sandwich. I know it's a mouth full of a name, but it was so worth it as it filled my belly. Along with it, I had a pumpkin spiced oatmilk latte, yum yummy yummers! Perfect pair for a perfect start of my day. I highly recommend this spot, check them out, and you will not be disappointed!

We're on a day trip to Santa Rosa from Ukiah. We love downtown Cloverdale and have heard good things about the Plank. Today we stopped for breakfast. At 9am there was a short line to get in. Nice food, bakery, and coffee options. We had a Fritatta with a crumb cake side. And, our coffee choice was Honey Latte. The Fritatta was a little small for $11, but quality was tops. The crumb cake was a little dense, but tasty. After I ordered there was a long line waiting to get in. Overall, a great experience. Plus, there was live music outside. We'll be back...

Fresh bagels; friendly baristas; quaint setting; great coffees; specialized dietary menu. Love stopping here. Worth the mile off the freeway detour.

Such a nice surprise on our little visit to Cloverdale!! Amazing Matcha Latte, plenty of gluten free and vegan pastries/options. The chia pudding was the best I ever tries (besides my own haha). Staff is friendly and the ambiance is super cool!! Will be back!!

Excellent coffee and a wondrous selection of pastries! (4/5 green stars)
It was definitely worth stopping in Cloverdale to see the town (and its quirky artwork) and visit Plank coffee. In terms of design, it’s one of the nicest coffee shops I’ve ever come across. Great light and a good mix of seating from the large communal table to the big armchairs. I had a Guatemala Huehuetenango pour-over (you heard me!) – reasonably priced at $3.25 and very nicely roasted & brewed. They now roast their own beans, with 10 oz bags for sale at $13-14. I also had a piece of their Hungarian shortbread ($2) and having made my own at home (and thinking it was good) I can say that theirs was exceptionally good! I was shocked to hear that it’s also gluten-free – a local baker makes it using their special rice flour mix. They have a great selection of pies and pastries with several vegan and gluten-free options.

I’m wavering between 4 and 5 “green stars” for social and environmental impact, based on these reasons:

• I believe that their coffee and teas are organic.
• Having said that, I’d like to know more about their coffee – I forgot to ask and now can’t find any info online. I think that some bags are labeled as organic and some not. Not sure about trade practice. Hope to learn more!
• They stock organic almond and soy milk.
• Some vegan-friendly pastries.
• They now roast their own coffee in restored roaster and package it in compostable (I think) bags.
• I like that as an alternative to soda they sell a “Shrub of the Week”, made from local produce. Great idea!
• Their amazing décor is largely from salvaged (communal table), vintage (armchairs) or locally-sourced (their wooden wall) materials.
• Lids not compostable – anyway, bring your own mug!

The best biscuit I've ever had in my LIFE was at Plank. What do they make it with? , Even the raspberry jam is incredible. Worth a drive just for that damn biscuit. The chai is also concocted with their housemate chai blend, none of that bottled up premade nonsense. Nice vibe, high quality ingredients, good selection of food and loose leaf teas.

The real deal people!!! You want to come here! Organic, grass fed, pastured milk for your latte is not an option, that's just the way it is! The syrups are all made in house, so are the delicious baked goods. The baristas are kind and knowledgeable. You want to be here!

Excellent veggie-head spot. Good coffee. Great biscuits. Fakin'BLTA was fantastic.
Great brunch food on a Sunday at 11am.

Great local vibe. Delicious food with Vegan friendly options. Kind and helpful staff. Great coffee.
